Description

Garden City Community College is a vibrant and dynamic community college located in the heart of the rural Southwest Kansas high plains region.

Garden City Community College’s Technical Education division seeks an experienced agriculture professional who is passionate about helping students further their educational and career goals. This is a full-time 172-day contract position under the direction of the Dean of Technical Education.  The primary assignment is to create a quality teaching and learning environment that facilitates student success in the Technical Education Division by teaching a variety of agriculture and agribusiness related courses and to develop and coach a Livestock Judging competition team.
